The headline news is the dropping of Joe Hart as the goalkeeper is finally axed for what has been a year-long run of howlers. Beyond this, though, Manchester City must return to winning ways after the loss at Chelsea as Manuel Pellegrini seeks to bridge the gap to the leaders Arsenal. With Vincent Kompany an injury concern, with his current thigh problem meaning he may not be available until after the international break, and with Costel Pantilimon making his Premier League debut, Norwich City may just fancy their chances of grabbing a result.
